Attack, attack, attack
I expect goals from this game and that's why I'm going for a combo bet.
Bournemouth
Betting on 'both teams to score' and over 2.5 goals when Bournemouth are at full speed is usually a pretty safe bet. As anyone who has followed Bournemouth this season will know, the Cherries are committed to their attacking brand of football, and rarely will you see them changing their tactics to accommodate their opposition.
It's time for Bournemouth to start getting what they deserve
But now Bournemouth have hit a poor run of form after Callum Wilson was injured just as Fraser and King went a little off the boil. But they finally won their last game against West Ham (2-0). It was only fair that they did win, considering the monstrous amount of goal-scoring opportunities they spurned in some of their defeats.
Let's dig a little deeper into the stats:
- Against Watford at home (3-3) they had 10-9 shots and 12-3 on target.
- Away at Everton (0-2) the stats were 14-11 in shots and 7-3 on target.
So, it's high time for Bournemouth to start getting what they deserve. Add to that Wilson scored on his return and Fraser was looking sharp again. However, Wilson is a slight doubt for this game after he picked up a knock against West Ham and had to leave the field in the second-half. If we go by what the papers are saying though it's likely that he will be ok to play this Wednesday.
Chelsea
Chelsea, like Bournemouth have experienced a bumpy ride of late, even if they've picked up some decent results along the way. Now, they have the Argentinian striker, Higuain in their ranks. He made his debut over the weekend in the FA Cup but was taken off in the second half. It's expected that he will give Chelsea a massive boost in the second half of the season. If Hazard and Higuain can find some magic together then Chelsea supporters will be very pleased.
Against an unstable Bournemouth the Blues have a real chance to pick up three points. But I don't completely trust Chelsea's defence and when you are the away team in the Premier League keeping a clean sheet is a tough task.
Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score is an enticing bet for this match. I think 11/10 with Bet365 are good value odds.

4 goals and not a single one of them for Chelsea. Unbelievable!
